I made a Zero model when I was a kid..

Didn't look anywhere near as nice as yours, tho.. but, back then seems like it was more ot "lets see how fast I can build it" type thing, as opposed to "how nice I can make it"... It would definitely be cool to take my time on one, now, and put it all together..

I DO have a balsa wood kit for a Fokker DR1 (Red Baron triplane) that I started about 28 years ago, put in a box and haven't touched, since.. its just that the balsa wood models are trickier and harder to build, imo, because you hafta cover them with tissue paper, or something like that which doesn't have pre-cut pieces of paper..

Maybe I'll do a plastic DR 1 in the future.. and do what I did as a kid: set it on fire and throw it across the yard like it got shot down lol



Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..

  In the late 70s, my Brother built two of my models I REALLY wish I still had.
